History: The
once imperial city of Bamberg is located in northern
Bavaria and is considered one of the most romantic
of German cities. When Heinrich II was crowned king
of Germany in 1002 he chose Bamberg as his favourite
residence and laid the foundations for the development
of the city, which started in the Romanesque period
and reached its peak in the Baroque era. In 1993
Bamberg was awarded "World Heritage" status
by UNESCO .
The town was scarcely damaged during WWII and still
retains many splendid mediaeval architectural features
and over 3000 historical buildings.> > > Those interested in Bavarian history click here for more information: Historical resources of Bavarian history compiled by the
University of Regensburg, Department of History
(in German).

Cultural and active life: Because of its complex history and the influence of the university and the church on cultural life, Bamberg offers a great diversity. You can choose between 13 museums, 10 galleries and 8 theatres. It is also the home of the world-renowned classical orchestra, the Bamberger
Symphoniker

A delight for the taste-buds : Many of the centuries-old
buildings have pubs where home-brewed beer and
Franconian as well as Bavarian dishes are served. "Great
diversity and old traditions"
is a motto for the nine beer breweries of Bamberg
and also for the many Franconian wines and types
of bread. Get to know Bamberg, come with us, relax
